    Pale comb question

    First, this is not an emergency. One of my buff orpingtons went broody at 5.5 month, a few weeks after she started laying. She sat for a week and then I finally got her some fertile hatching eggs because my boys weren't old enough at that point. She sat like a champ but too much so. She...

    Chicken with black dots around eyes

    Hi there. I really hope someone can help me. My chicken has these black dots around her eyes and some blood around her neck also (I’ll insert a picture). She is the head of the pecking order so it would be weird, but I guess possible for her to be attacked. She is acting normal and eating and...

    My squad!

    Here's a pic of my girls coming to greet me as I come down to feed them scraps and treats. I just found out that I have Easter Eggers and not Ameracauna. Kinda bummed not getting blue eggs but I'm so fascinated by the beautiful olive eggs they have been laying.

    Buff orpington x brown leghorn

    I have a buff orpington rooster (Fabio) that my brown leghorns love. I'm just curious what kind of cross that would make. Does anyone have a cross between the two and do you have pictures?

    What Is Going On With My Hen??

    **Edited the chaos of the repeating post** So I got a 12 week old Buff Orphington pullet back in April. It only took her a couple weeks to start laying and quickly became the head hen of the flock. About a month ago, we went broody. But it started while my husband a I were away on vacation for...

    Crowing Hens?

    I know there are several post out there on this topic, but being a first time chicken owner I am having a hard time trying to figure this out. I got 5 day old females of all different breeds at the end of May. My “girls” are 14 weeks old now and I heard someone crowing this morning. I...

    New mama! ❤️

    As of last night, we were faced with some unexpected circumstances that we couldn’t leave alone... someone in the community bought chicks for this last Easter and became overwhelmed as they grew, and neighbors complained, and were far from prepared. Having raised fowl and birds or flight before...

    Unexpected death! Help!!

    One of my chickens unexpectedly died today. We’re worried for the rest of the flock and would like to know why she died. She’s a buff orphington. I’m assuming we’re going to have to find a place to perform a necropsy. What do I need to do with her body in the mean time since it’s night and I...

    Jenny

    Jenny is a buff orpington, 2 years old. I raised her from a chick, she is the sweetest and friendliest chicken I've ever met. She is basically a chicken dog- she follows you around and is always the first to investigate things. She is a bit of a hog when it comes to food- she tries to get all...

    Hey all, This is my first go round with raising chickens. These chicks hatched 17 weeks ago and I got 6 each, straight run Buff Orps, New Hampshire reds, and Silver-laced Wyandottes.

    Pale, small comb

    I have six chickens. Bought from feed store, estimated to be 17 weeks old now. No laying yet. 3 sex links and 3 buff orphingtons. Everyone is acting fine and appears healthy, but one of my orphingtons has a very small, pale comb. I've checked them all for mites and I don't see signs of any...

    Ventura County — sweet roosters in need of adoption ASAP!!

    These three eligible bachelors are looking for a new home where they will be kept as pets and not as a meal. They have been hand raised since they were days old, and are very good around children, dogs, and cats! I would guesstimate their age is about 6 months! We currently have 4 roosters but...
